About
Wonseo Lee is a pioneering researcher in medical robotics, specializing in magnetically actuated miniature robots for minimally invasive clinical applications. His work focuses on designing untethered robots capable of navigating and performing therapeutic functions within the confined tubular structures of the human body, including blood vessels and the gastrointestinal tract. Lee's most impactful contributions include the development of flexible-legged magnetic robots, helical robots, and crawling magnetic robots engineered to treat vascular diseases through locomotion, drug delivery, blood clot drilling, and stent deployment. His 2017 paper on the flexible-legged magnetic robot and his helical robot work have each garnered over 40 citations, reflecting their significant influence on the field. He has also made notable advances in magnetic navigation systems, including resonant-effect-enhanced systems and dual-permanent-magnet configurations for precise capsule endoscope control. Collectively, Lee's portfolio spans over a decade of innovation, accumulating hundreds of citations and addressing critical clinical challenges such as vascular occlusion, targeted drug delivery, and in vivo biopsy. His research bridges robotics engineering and medical device development, contributing foundational technologies that bring wireless, remotely controlled micro-robotic systems closer to real-world clinical deployment.
